Dear jmh: None of the sites on Britich slang had a definition of "sticky end". It sounds like US "s--t end of the stick" but I have no idea how that would apply to Henry I, about whom I know nothing. But I finally found a good history site about him. He sounds like a rather good king. In what way does he remind you of the sh-t end of the stick? Here a URL with several paragraphs about him, quite complimentary, I thought: : http://makeashorterlink.com/?M5AC51B02 Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Credit where credit is due #80772 10/08/02 09:13 PM Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 10,561 Likes: 1 Worcester, MA W wofahulicodoc Carpal Tunnel wofahulicodoc Carpal Tunnel W Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 10,561 Likes: 1 Worcester, MA Friday the 13th come on a Sunday this month. is a paraphrased quote from Pogo, yes?

I'm sure it was discussed at some point in the mist of time. Other people from history who came to a sticky end include: Anne Boleyn, William Wallace and Guy Fawkes. Here's what happened to Henry I: http://www.quite.com/personal/cafeq/fooddeathtext1.htm Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Pogo #80774 10/09/02 09:27 AM Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Faldage Carpal Tunnel Faldage Carpal Tunnel Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 An he din't never eat no lampreys, far as I know.
